Chapter 34:

“If you don’t want to lose your teeth, shut your mouth.”

He nodded in fear.

“Good boy!” Kwon Chae-woo dragged Hwang Jo-yoon out of the house. There was no one passing by on the street outside. Hwang Jo-yoon burst into tears. Kwon Chae-woo walked without hesitation to the house across the street. It was the house Hwang Jo-yoon had recently bought.

Hwang Jo-yoon struggled. He was bleeding from his mouth. He was scared to go into that house with this man.

“Are you wondering how I found out about your hide-out?” asked Kwon Chae-woo. “Well, one night, I was outside on the porch of the hospital, and I looked at this house across the street. If I were to be intimate with Lee-yeon, anyone looking outside the window of this house would see everything.” His voice was hoarse, as though he was trying to restrain his anger.

“You should have hidden until the end so that Lee-yeon wouldn’t have noticed you,” said Kwon Chae-woo, dangerously, “You only made her suffer.”Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Hwang Jo-yoon was petrified. “It’s better to grow up than act like a kid in an adult body and get kicked.”

Kwon Chae-woo dragged the man, kicked the front door open. An instant before Hwang Jo-yoon was dragged inside, he saw a pedestrian walking by carrying a plastic bag. He yelled desperately at the person. It was his only chance.

The man in the baseball cap stopped in his tracks. He looked at them. He would definitely have seen Hwang Jo-yoon with his hands tied. He saw me! He saw me!

A glimmer of hope flashed across his face, but the pedestrian turned away and walked on in a hurry. His last hope was gone. Another pedestrian walked into another house in the neighborhood without a glance.

What’s wrong with the people in this country! There was no escape for Hwang Jo-yoon.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“I have been practicing flower arrangement.”

“Why?”

“Well, I want to start working again,” he said, “I want to get back to my normal life. Or what it used to be before I lost my memory.”

Lee-yeon felt a prick of her conscience. She had never felt any regrets with the lies she had created because she had done it to save herself. But... right now she couldn’t look him in the face. She turned her eyes away.

“Where did you get the flowers from?”

“I picked them from the flowerbed outside.”He gestured towards the window.

Lee-yeon glanced at him as he looked at the window. He had a sharp jawline and smooth skin. He turned back to her, and their eyes met.

“Do you want me to tie your hair up?”he offered.

“Ah... I look a bit messy now, right?” Embarrassed, Lee-yeon combed her hair with her hand.

“No,” he calmly walked closer to her and grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. “It’s just an excuse because I want to touch your hair.”
